What should I check if my GPS status screen is showing garbage, too many satellites, no satellites, BAD ? No Voltage message, or BAD ? Over Current message?
This typically is an indication of a
Defective GPS CAT5 cable
FIX: Verify GPS cable crimps, check pin out is according to Canopy specs (pins 1,2,3, and 6) and if needed try swapping out the cable.
Noise being injected over GPS cable
FIX: Validate that shielded cables are used to minimize the possibility of noise being injected. Reroute the cables away from the interference source. Place the unshielded cables in metal conduit.
GPS antenna doesn?t have a clear unobstructive view of the horizon.
FIX: Re-position antenna to obtain full unobstructed view of full horizon.
